Taste your way through the heart of Normandy on a river cruise along the majestic Seine, pausing at the historic sites that have shaped the course of history.
There’s a reason the French call this corner of the world their gourmet heartland. There’s a reason the French call this corner of the world their gourmet heartland. This eight-day voyage serves up history and gastronomy in equal measure.
Stand beneath the clifftop ruins of Château Gaillard, Richard the Lionheart’s fortress, before losing yourself in medieval Rouen, where Monet’s cathedral soars overhead. Trace the beaches of D-Day, or wander the pastel harbour of Honfleur, crêpe in hand. There’s Monet’s garden at Giverny, Bizy Castle with its cider and cheese, and a final flourish in Paris. And between each discovery? Fine French cuisine, a Champagne reception set to live music, and an all-inclusive drinks package to raise a toast.
